It is'nt just a time be chonce

Bud ivvery day i't year.

"Noa livin sowl a'top o' t'earth,

Wor tried as ah've been tried;

There's noabdy bud the Lord an me,

'At knaws what ah've ta bide.

"Fro t'wind at t'stomach, t'rewmatism,

An tengin pains it goom;

Fro coffs an cowds, an t'spine it back,

Ah suffer martyrdom.
